![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | German Prince Marcus crashes Gembella Carrera GT From: German Prince Marcus Crashes Gemballa Carrera GT Prince Marcus Eberhard Edward of Anhalt, Duke of Saxony and Westphalia, Count of Askania, well known for his jetsetting and international tabledance club chain “Pure Platinum” as well as extensive supercar collection has taken the displeasure of severely cracking his orange Gemballa Porsche Carrera GT at the famous Paul Ricard racing circuit in France. Next time you ask yourself, who has the money or inclination to buy Porsche Carrera GT worth €500,000 in addition to Gemballa's €225,000 tuning package, think of this guy! ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: German Prince Marcus crashes Gembella Carrera GT The Porsche Carrera GT has a carbon fibre bodyshell and chassis (as with most supercars like the SLR/Enzo). My understanding is that the bodyshell and chassis are cast in large pieces and in special ways (e.g. the CF is outstandingly strong in one direction, but remarkably weak in the non-load bearing direction), and this is what partially what gives it its rigidity and strength. Once this shell is cracked or damaged, that piece of CF basically looses its strength. It can be repaired, but it is extremely expensive, and apart from changing the entire part, the part will never be as strong as it originally was. Given that the chassis of the Carrera GT is probably damaged in the above car, that Carrera GT is ruined. Even if it was repaired, it'll never be as good as it was before. Though my guess is that the car is a write-off. |

I don't think the carbon fibre monocoque has suffered from any damages at all, maybe they will need a new carbon fibre engine cradle and replace the body panels. btw this guy is a massive tool. | |

![]() | Re: German Prince Marcus crashes Gembella Carrera GT ^ It would explain a lot if he had two fathers, yes ![]() I'm not sure, but I am fairly positive that he doesn't gt anything whatsoever from the state, and has to pay taxes like everybody else. His titles are only for show, and not mean anything in Germany. |
